I live in a small town.There are a lot of different shops in the town centre.There's a hardware shop, a chemist's, a newsgent's, a butcher,s and a baker's. There was a greengrocer's, too, but it closed six months ago. And we've got a flower shop and a smll bookshop. The bookshop sells stationery and birthday cards, too. We've got a small supermarket in the town centre, but there aren't any clothes shops or shoe sho ps. we have to go into the city centre for those things. Every Saturday there's a market in the Square. We Last year a big new supermarket opened near the town,and most people do their shopping there now. We always use the local sut hops and the market. They're more personal and friendlier, dut they aren't as cheap as the supermarket. the supermarket is more convenient, too. Parking is easier and you can buy everting in one place. It's more difficult for the local shop now. The butcher says he's lost a lot of customers, and the month. It's a pity , because a lot of people don't come into the town centre now.
